Chapter 145: Vaporizing Danger, Explosive Might
As natural energy surged around Yue Yan, the surrounding Daichi came to life, with countless thorny vines made of dirt and rocks winding their way up. Everything, visible or invisible, was Coiling Around and crushed by these terrifying thorns.
The Senji: Inorganic Reincarnation, a unique Senji from the Ryuchi Cave, is a ninjutsu that endows inanimate inorganic matter with life and allows for its control. It's not simply a ninjutsu that uses chakra to control substances; rather, it gives them the mobility of life, with extremely high speed and a wide range. It's almost impossible to dodge.
Looking at the thorns that bound and pierced his body, Kyohō Hohozuki's pupils dilated. Even he failed to react in time just now. If he weren't in a body revived by the Living Corpse Reincarnation, he would probably be dead.
However, this wasn't what shocked him the most. After realizing Yue Yan's intention, he turned his head and looked in a certain direction.
Over there, countless thorns Coiling Around a huge object that resembled a giant clam magnified thousands of times. It was the summoning beast, the giant clam, of Kyohō Hohozuki, and it was also the culprit that had affected Yue Yan's perception just now.
Now, countless spiked thorns clung to the hard shell of the giant clam. As these thorns tightened, large cracks appeared on the shell. Just before the giant clam was strangled to death, it turned into a puff of white smoke with a bang and returned to the summoning world.
As the giant clam disappeared, the surrounding environment, which had been altered by the mirage, returned to normal.
As Yue Yan watched, Mu and Shamon appeared where there had once been stones. They were also pierced by the thorns and firmly bound in place.
"This is the power of Senji? It's really powerful."
Shamon stroked his bald head and said with emotion.
Mu beside him looked extremely solemn.
"Hohozuki, use your full strength, or we won't be able to kill that guy."
"I know."
Saying that, Kyohō Hohozuki raised two fingers. As his body turned into a mass of water, he broke free from the control of the thorns.
"Judging from your voice, you can't be very old. Watch closely. This is my signature ninjutsu."
As his voice faded, a chubby little boy who was almost an exact copy of Kyohō Hohozuki rushed out of his body. If Kyohō Hohozuki had an otaku son, he'd probably look like this.
After the chubby little boy separated, a strange smile appeared on his face. He rushed towards Yue Yan at an extremely high speed. When he got close, his arm turned into a huge blade and slashed towards Yue Yan's neck.
Seeing this, Yue Yan quickly tapped his feet on the ground and swiftly distanced himself from the chubby little boy clone.
This chubby little boy clone was created by Kyohō Hohozuki using the water and oil within his body. Since it wasn't a normal living being in essence, it could move at an extremely high speed and make extremely strange and distorted movements, which made its actions quite agile and unpredictable.
This technique is called Steam Hazardous Explosion Might. The scariest part is that whether it's the chubby boy's own movement or being attacked, it can convert that energy into heat and transfer it back to the water in his body. Once the water in his body is heated into steam and reaches the critical point, it will explode.
After the explosion, the steam will cool down again and be wrapped by the extremely elastic external grease. Then it will repeat the cycle. It's a ninjutsu that can explode infinitely.
The reason Mu looks like he's wrapped in bandages all over his body is that he was hit by this technique back then.
And this technique also has a drawback, which is that after using it, Kyohō Hohozuki will be in a weakened state.
While Yue Yan was dodging, he watched the chubby boy gradually grow bigger and become even rounder.
Although the chubby boy got fatter, his speed didn't decrease at all. And because the water in his body was gradually being converted into steam, his speed even got faster.
Watching Yue Yan being chased around by the chubby boy, Kyohō Hohozuki stretched out two fingers to tidy up his little mustache.
"It's an honor for you to die by this technique."
"Humph, I don't think he'll die so easily."
Mu replied with a rather annoyed look on his face. He slapped his hands on the ground and summoned two rock giants again, one on the left and one on the right, to block and confine Yue Yan's movement space.
"Indeed, a ninja as powerful as him should have a backup plan. Anyway, we're already dead, so it doesn't really matter if we hold back our ultimate moves."
Shamon said as he took out several Puppets.
After forming hand seals, the parts of three Puppets separated and then recombined into a triangle.
"Secret jutsu! Three Jewels Suction Crushing!"
Suddenly, a terrifying suction force was felt. Yue Yan also noticed this ninjutsu that had fought against Chiyo before from the corner of his eye.
"Tsk, so annoying."
Yue Yan cursed under his breath. Since these people were all resurrected by Living Corpse Reincarnation, there was almost no other way to deal with them except seal. Even if he managed to kill one of them by force, the other two wouldn't give Yue Yan the time to perform the sealing ninjutsu.
Now Yue Yan regretted that he wasn't really from the Uzumaki Clan. Otherwise, once he used the Adamantine Sealing Chains, these three guys wouldn't be able to act so recklessly.
Shaking his head and not dwelling on these things, Yue Yan's whole body was once again surrounded by even more dazzling Lightning Flash.
Two Thunder Spear instantly condensed on the left and right. While piercing through the charging rock giants, he flung them towards the direction of Three Jewels Suction Crushing. At the same time, he lashed his long tail behind him, sending out a Lightning Flash towards the chubby boy, but the chubby boy dodged it.
The moment he reached near Three Jewels Suction Crushing, the Thunder Spear exploded instantly, blowing up the rock giants and Three Jewels Suction Crushing at the same time.
Yue Yan didn't care about the explosion's direction. Using Senji perception, he confirmed the chubby boy... no, it should be called the big chubby boy now. Sensing that the steam in the big chubby boy's body was about to reach its limit, Yue Yan stomped on the ground and charged towards Kyohō Hohozuki.
Right now, he has the weakest combat power. Let's deal with him first. Seeing this and noticing the Sealing Tag glowing in Yue Yan's palm, Mu narrowed his eyes.
"I won't let you succeed."
Mu stretched out his hands to create a cylindrical Dust Release. If Yue Yan attacked Kyohō Fuefuki, both he and Kyohō Fuefuki would be disintegrated.
Seeing this, Yue Yan used electromagnetic floating to suddenly change direction and rushed towards Mu.
"It's useless."
Muttering to himself, Mu used the earthninjutsu to create a rock giant beneath his feet and charged at Yue Yan.
Seeing this, Yue Yan showed no fear at all. He endured the punch from the rock giant and punched back.
After shattering the rock giant's arm, he slapped his palm towards Mu's body.
The jutsu in Yue Yan's palm was used to sealchakra. As long as he could manage to take out one of the three, he could break the balance.
However, Mu, who had long realized this, would never let Yue Yan succeed. The moment Yue Yan's palm landed on him, he activated the ninjutsu he had prepared.
"Dust Release: Boundary Detachment Technique."
A huge white cube enveloped Yue Yan and Mu. It seemed that Anātman, relying on the immortal body granted by the Living Corpse Reincarnation, was determined to exchange his life for Yue Yan's. After all, with Yue Yan's speed, it was difficult for the Dust Release to hit him.
"I knew you'd do this."
As soon as the words left his mouth, a shrill Lightning Bolt sound flashed.
Hearing Yue Yan's words, Mu's pupils dilated. Right before his eyes, the Lightning Flash that Yue Yan had previously thrown with his tail transformed into a large feline. The moment it rushed out, it kicked the big fat one with both feet and sent it flying towards Yue Yan.
Seeing this, Yue Yan used the Protect barrier to adjust his position. The moment he was hit and sent flying by the big fat one, he rushed towards Kyohō Fuefuki.
